If I heated DHW with mine I would probably have it going by now.  It was 38 deg here last night and 62 in my house this morning when I woke up.  I hope to have my plate exchanger hooked up here pretty soon.  After that I will fire it up.  I'm thinking about 2 weeks from now.

I was planning for Oct 1 but I got anxious and fired it up two nights ago. I am heating water with it this year so the btus will not go to waste. I am in Southern Indiana and my brother in law said there was ice on his car this morning. I am not sure what the actual temperature was.

The hot shower alone is worth it I still can't believe the difference in that and electric hot water

Started mine this past Wednesday. We are about out of propane for our water heater and I don't want that big ugly truck showing up until next spring!

I just hooked up my DHW this year and started the boiler a few days ago. There is a huge difference in the temps for sure. I had to explain to my wife how it will get much hotter the more we use so we do not scald our child. We use rain water for the entire house and now with free hot water we can take long guilt free showers any time we like.

Suppose to be in the mid seventies this week so I'll probably wait a little while longer. I'm still catching up on the firewood. :bash:
